I just bought a 91 GTI and want to either replace the fuel pump housing with something more reliable or just searching where I can possibly come across a new one. I’ve seen many threads on this on here, most of them old so looking for recent info. Any info is appreciated.

Thanks

I had this issue a couple of months ago.
I researched for several months until my bud at VW shop had a good used one.
What I had thought to be a crack fuel pump housing was a bad fuel pump O-ring.
I now have extra fuel pump housing.:D

I've never done this swap, but hear good things about it.
Suggest you reach out the forum elders who have done this swap to pick brain.

Or you can upgrade to the alloy version, but need to know what size is your fuel pump.
